Belligerent Crows.

Washington, Oct. "a dispatch from
Acting Adjutant General Vincent, at St.
Paul, was to-day received at the war
department through Gen. Terry stating
that a number Of Crow Indians had list
returned from a raid on the Piegans to
their agency in Montana, and had fired
into the agency buildings, and were
defiant and hostile. The agent was I'M
able to arrest them with the Indian
police, and requested that the military
be sent. Two troops were Immediately
dispatched from Fort Custer, but they
found the condition Of affairs more
serious than was expected and were I'M
able to effect the arrest Of the Indians
The department commander was ap
pealed to for instructions. In forward
ing the dispatch Gen. Terry makes the
following Endorsement: | find il diff
cult to understand this action Of the
Crows. They have always been well
disposed and we'll behaved, except in
respect to their feuds with other tribes.
In our Sioux troubles they were faithful
and efficient allies. ] fear there may be
some cause for the present excitement

to make the springs, the town and the
county a success. We know the new
company Gid well to retain him in their
new organization as u director, for he is
a good worker and has an extended
acquaintance in the west and especially
in connection with the Dakota Hot
Springs. He has written more about
the springs perhaps, than all others
combined and in such a way that gave
them greater publicity. While the
Doctors interest will be small, we know
his work will continue just as effective
as though he was a large owner. From
this on, we expect to see new life in
fused into the company and that not
only will the company make a success,
but that increased prosperity will come
to the town AMI county. The new COM
pany are wealthy, and needed improve
ments can be made without embarrass-
ing any one connected therewith.-Hot

Free Trade.

The reduction ofinternal evenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
facturers. Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower and Boschee's
German Syrup, as the reduction of
thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby give
ing one-tifth more medicine in the rs
cent size. The August Flower for
dyspepsia and liver complaint, and tn
German Syrup for cough and lung
troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale
Of any medicines in the world. The adj
vantage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.

safe to say, with the more general pre-.
valence Of knowledge and experience
concerning geology and mineralogv,
there will be more investigation and
consideration and less unreasoning ex-
element. The brain will be useu more,
the feet less.
The many discoveries Of mineral
wealth constantly made in such widely
separated portions of the country show
that the gold, silver, copper, iron, coal,
gas and other mineral products are not
confined to one locality and that there
has been a most generous provision
made for the requirements Of the
present and future generations.
Under the present advantage Of avail
able knowledge it would be wiser policy
for those eagerly seeking for mineral
treasures to carefully examine the rock
under their feet instead Of starting out
upon a march across a continent to some
point where a discovery has been made.
An experienced prospector or miner is
not compelled to go from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast to find gold and
silver, as thousands did in the un-
equalled movement of lS49, when the
discovery Of gold in California quicken
Cd The pulses of the world and estab-
lished an empire a century in advance
Of the slowly creeping wave of settle
ment and improvement. 1t seems now
as if the Rocky Mountains stood up as a
wall of opposition so that the multitude
unable to overcome the obstacle set in
its way might be made to see the treas
ures unconsciOusly trcdGen under foot
by those whose eyes fixed upon the
revelation already made, were blind to
every other truth.
1t is clearly evident to the careful OBJ
server that there is a decided change in
the character and methods that pertain
to the great mining industry. The
breadth Of the yet unlimited field shows
there is no necessity for undue haste or
effort to secure a good location. The
elements of reliable business are more
prominently visible. Substantial facts
as a basis for investigation and invest
ment are more generally demanded.
The probabilities of a reasonable and
steady production are more carefully
considered and have greater weight
than wonderful assays from selected
specimens. Thorough business like in
v~estigation and management have taken
the place Of the delusiye enchantment

Methods Employed to Extract the Deli
cate Odor of Flowers.
Pomades are the commercial vehicle
for absorbing and transporting the per-
fumes of the jonquil, tuberose, jasmine
and few other species of flowers.
A square frame, or chassis of white
wood, and about twenty by thirty
inches in size, is set with a pane of
strong plate glass. On each side of
the glass is spread thin, even layer
of grease, which has been purified and
refined. Thus prepared, the frames
are piled up in ranks six or seven feet
high'to await the season of each special
flower.
When the blossoms arrive, the petals
are picked from the stem-the pistils
and stanens being discarded-and laid
so as to sover the grease in each frame.
These being again piled so as to rest
upon their wooden edges, which tit
closely together, there is formed series
of tight chambers, the floors and cell
ings of which are of grease, exposed to
the perfume of the tlower-leaves within.
The grease absorbs the perfume, the
spent flowers are removed daily and
fresh ones supplied, and this process
goes on from two tC four or five months,
according to the desired strength of
the pomade, which, when sufficiently
charged with perfume, is taken from
the glass with wide, thin spatula, and
packed in tin cans for export.
By these meshods, the delicate odors
of flowers are extracted and retained
fortransport to distant markets, where,
being treated with alcohol, they yield
their perfume to that stronger vehicle,
and produce the floral waters and eX-
tracts of commerce.
Coarser pomades are made by boiling
the flower, in the grease, and subject
ing the residue to pressure. The spent
pomades are used for toilet-purposes
and in the manufacture of fine soaps.
The process of preparing perfumed
oils involves the same principle except
that, instead of solid grease, superfine
olive oil is used With this oil, pieces
of coarse cotton fabric are saturated.
which are then spread upon wire netting
stretched in wooden frames about three
by four feet in size. The flowers are
spread upon the saturated cloths, and
the frames are piled one above the other,
so that the perfume of the flowers is

Danger from Gas Meters.

The meters which gas companies in
troduce into our houses are put together
with solder that melts at low degree
of heat. When fire originates near a
gas meter the heat very soon causes it
to fall apart. and the unchecked flow Of
gas from the influent pipe quickly fills
the premises with roaring and devas-
tatinS flame. After every fire, when
there is total loss of the building, a
blazing stream of gas roars on beneath
fallen walls and debris, until measures
are taken to stop the supply of gas from
the street mains. With these facts be-
fore every body's eyes, it seems strange
tfat no attempt is made to have meters
differently constructed, or some way
devised to prsvcpt the les that neces,

LEARNING a TRADE.
A Sound Argument in Favor of Boys Ac
curing knowledge in Shops.

curing hnOWledSe III SHOPS
When boy has once gained the
practical knowledge which every boy
of the least ability will naturally acquire
in shop he is fitted to convert the
knowledge which college or a univer-
sitv offers Eim into useful wisdom.
The greatest fallacy of modern edu-
cationists is that boy can better be
taught 10 do something by theory than
he can learn to do something by prac-
tice. This has never proved true, and
there is no reason to believe that it ever
will. There are thousands of college
graduates in this country to-day whose
prospects of getting Il living are ex-
tremely precarious, because they know
nothing except what they were taught
at college. On the other hand, there
are a great many who have had their
ideas broadened by a college course,
and correspondingly benefited thereby.
Simple as the whole matter is, there are
many who can not be made to see it,
and they are helped along sometimes,
| in their blindness, by those who ought
| to know better. The idea that college
| course alone will fit a man to get a
decent living is as fallacious as the idea
! that such course can not help him
in getting along in the world. The
best advice, in our opinion, that can be
given boys in this respect is: Os moi

RAILWAY SNOW SHEDS.
How the Pacific Roads Prevent Their
Tracks From Being Buried Under Snow.

How the Pacific Roads Prevent Their
Tracks From Being Buried Under Snow.
Snow-sheds, to cover the railway
track, have been built at points on the
Central Pacific road where it crosses the
Sierras. As The trains bound East
leave Emigrant Gap they run through
one continuous shed for thirty-nine
miles. The purpose of the shed is to
prevent the track from being buried
under falling and drifting snow. They
secure this end. but are themselves the
occasion of great Inconvenience, such
as the noise, the loss of view and the
combining of the smoke to the train.
There is nothing peculiar in the con-
struction of these sheds which have to
support only the burden of the snow.
But on the line of the Canadian Pacific
road where the road crosses the Rocky
Mountains, sheds of different con-
struction are needed. Before the road
was completed, observations in the
mountains showed that avalanches
must be provided against. A s.ngse
avalanche covered the track for 4 dis
lance of one thousand three hu&sred
feet. and to the depth of fifty feet. The
result of these observations was CHAT
the company CONSTRUCTED four s-i q
half miles of snow-shet.S at an s:.or-
nous expense.
The sheds are constructed as follows:
On the high side of the mountain siope
II timber crib :illed with stones is I.:-
structed. Along the entire length of
the shed, and on the opposite side of
the track, timber trestle is erected,
strong timber beams are laid from the
top of the crib-work to the top of the
trestle, four feet apart, and at an angle
representing the slope of the mountain
as nearly rs possible. These are COW
cred over with four-inch planlling, and
the beams are braced on either side
from the trestle and from the crib. The
covering is placed at such IL height as

Of the track. The longest of thesa
